Blinds in sheds??

Can I get some special blinds that I can put in the windows of my shed to stop the sun shining through and heating it up? I am currently fitting a mesh door in but the windows are glass and are quite small, if he can making them into opening windows may be a job for my brother in law (a builder) in the meantime where could I get some blinds from that don't let the sunlight through to heat up the shed or something similar??
 
Personally I don't think blinds would make any difference.
The asphalt roof on a shed is a great conductor of heat, and being wooden the structure will hold the heat from the sun quite effectively.

Proper ventilation is the only way to effectively reduce the heat in a shed.
 
We have replaced the glass in our shed window with mesh to allow more air in and I have just bought some greenhouse shade netting to put over the window to provide a little shade from the glare of the sun but still allow the air to circulate :)
